Sat.



Not a big day..nothing out of the ordinary but I need to be recording more of the journey as I know it will be a book someday. Ruby is on the ground trying to hard to crawl, she's on all fours and rocking back and forth. She gets around the whole living room by scooting and rolling. She's working on standing with help. She's amazing.



The thing I noticed is that her pinky fingers are straighter than ever. This isn't a big deal to anyone but me..I know it's God showing me her healing is manifesting one pinky finger at time. She's not suppossed to have straight pinky's..the geneticict told us.



But she does.



She's eating foods now..right on schedule. We pray over her tongue to be perfect to help her eat, talk and sing.



She's very much more smiley than she used to be.



My mother even had a Ruby coming out party in Ga when Ruby came to visit. Everyone was ooohing and awwing and in perfect Ruby fashion she never shed one tear and let everyone cuddle with her.



She's my cuddle bug. I prayed for a cuddly baby...

More Ruby Great News

We took Ruby into see Dr Ischander who's been her pulminologist since she was in the NICU. She's doing so great she took her off all medications.
So now it's no oxygen, no meds and all she did was say'Well this is more of a social visit because she' s perfect in every way"
It's so amazing because she even mentioned Jesus and Him getting all the credit.I've never known her to be a believer but she shared she has Rubys' pic on her desk and that Ruby is the prettiest baby in the world to her and a miracle!
Isn't God great?
She's rocking..rolling...trying to crawl, laughing, and now we're trying rice cereal.
It's been a joy to know her. Her name is truly perfect. She went on an airplane ride to WI and then Mich. It was truly amazing that she didn't cry one time on the planes...seriously....
People at the shows were just loving on her..not one person said to me" Wow she looks sick, delayed or anything like a baby with any issues. " As a mommy that's all I could want for my baby..just total normal life and that she shall have. Well her parents are comedians so we'll have to see about the "normal life part!"
God is great.
someday I have to blog about Trevor's dream and Healing Word Church.

Some new proof how to get baby to hold head up


Ruby Laughs

I just spent some simple time on the couch with Ruby. We both struggled to get big sistey anr Lucy to bed. Then Ruby and I had some couch time of our own despite the screams of Lucy saying" But I looooooooooooove Ruby and I need her to cuddle with me."Some days it's all about survival of Lucy's love..she's like bam bam from Flintstones. Well Ruby was at church holding her own bottle with auntie Diane and Grandma Pearl. We call her Kiwi because of Uncle John's vision of her when she was born. Everyone of course fawns over miss Ruby. But tonight Ruby and I just made eachother laugh for a long time...she smiles when I kiss her. People tell me she lights up when I'm around. I think we do have this really special bond. Her daddy calls her princess but I call her Ruby Roo! I'm Kanga and She's Roo! She laughs and my heart melts. Is there anything more amazing than your baby's laughter? I'm a comedian and she's my biggest fan ! I Just love this baby girl so so much and her gift to me of just pure joy. Thats all she is. She hardly ever cries..I'm not kidding I mean hardly ever. We can't explain it....she s so calm and sweet all the time Im not lying others can't believe it..she's just so so happy..so mellow..sleeps all night...wakes up and cries a bit to be fed and then happy happy. What did I do to be so blessed? She's just amazing and hitting every milestone and some early like rolling over both ways....you go girl! you go! Yay God!

Transformation


Well one thing I've learned so far is NEVER to listen to Dr's or anyone when it comes to what my child will or won't do .

I prayed she would hit all her milestones early just to show the world who's boss.

The fact that she rolled over at 14 weeks was awesome. Her vision, thyroid, hearing and other things..perfection.

the dr said later she'll go from cooing to using consanants...well she looked up at me the other day and saidMmmmum!

Well my friend Dana said" She said Mom!" Well I say it was the British version but she smiled and did it.

I have to confess Ruby might not give us as many smiles in a day as her sister might have but when she does they literally light up the whole room. She glows and laughs out loud. Who knows what's going on in that pretty head of hers but she is very mellow and a beautiful little girl. People are seeing pics and keep saying her face is changing...being transformed..I do see it but it's hard. I want it all now..the full manifestation..but I know it'shappening. Remind me to write the story of her curved pinky fingers and Janine from the Jungle praying over her.

This baby has had soooooooooo much prayer the thank you's in her book are going to take 19 pages.

Stratergy Prayer for Ruby

This is a prayer I got from my friend Louise who studied genetics. It's a stratergy prayer for Ruby if you care to join us.
I see the miracles happening..Rubys pinky finger used to be curved. This was told to us that was a sign of Down Syndrome babies or kids. I saw it the other day looking straighter...and straighter..there is no other reason for this except God is at work! God is healing! God has healed!
Hi Cathy,
Could you send this to Keri? I don't have her email

When I was praying for Ruby, I was led to pray that the cells would not copy/replicate the extrachromosomal material from Chromosome 21 when they divide. Also, that the extra genes on the extra chromosomes would not express the proteins that they code for or in other words that the extra material those genes make, would not be made.
thanks,
Louise

It's in the middle where it counts

Today is a Mon like any other day. Ruby is lovely..spitting up her milk but lovely. We have physical therapy today and I'm expecting great comments from the therapist. It's not a life threatening day...just an ordinary day but it's in the rest I have in God that he's doing a might work in her life. That even if I rest..God doesn't. She's being formed, healed and growing in an amazing way.
My friend who is missionary in the jungle in Tai Land said she couldn't sleep for days and she kept getting visions of Ruby being healed. We talked on Skype. When Ruby was seen by a geneticist..she pointed out that Ruby's pinky fingers were curved inward due to DSyndrome. I looked at her fingers the other day...one is straight now and one is almost straight. God reminding me..He's actually doing this...it's in the small miracles we take joy in. WE TRUST that the work is already done in heaven. We enjoy her smiles..she laughs out loud now! She's just....so very very lovely!

Ruby has to go back on Oxygen at night

. HI guys I'll let my publicist Barbara write this one update below on our family....thanks for your love and prayers this email is from her.
My heart was so sad to hear this news of Ruby's test results but again...I have a choice. I believe God is faithful.
Today I woke up and turned to a verse that said" there is healing in the tongue!" God doesn't LIE
Hello friends
There are several developments with Ruby that I want to share with you. Last week the Pulmonologist as a precaution decided to repeat the all night sleep test at the hospital before making final decision about taking her off oxygen. Kerri received a call yesterday that she was still having some desats (stopping breathing) and sleep apnea so she will have to continue to use the oxygen at night. She has some nasal congestion and the doctor said that may contribute to the problem but it also may be caused from a slightly enlarged tongue. We ask for prayers her tongue is perfect!

We have several specific prayer requests and the first of course being that her lungs will strengthen and she will be able to discontinue the oxygen. The other being that her muscle tone mainly in her neck, arms, and legs will strengthen and aline and that her tongue is perfectly sized and not causing any problems. Also please pray that her congestion will clear up.

On the positive side both the physical therapist and occupational therapist who come twice a week say her muscles are getting stronger each visit and she is making good improvement.Her vision test was absolutely perfect!

Some of you have also asked about Mark and he also needs prayer. He is taking a very strong medicine for psoriasis which is working but also has serious side effects, one being a compromised immune system so he has had a very severe respiratory infection since we arrived He felt well enough to drive up over the weekend and sounded better but he has to take another shot this week. Please pray for stronger immune system as he works with kids all day and picks up their germs.

Our family is so appreciative of all your prayers and we know that God hears and answers our prayers. Ruby is such a Joy to all of us and is the sweetest baby in the world. Nana is teaching her to sing "Jesus Loves Me" and she responds by cooing and laughing. Her big sister also spends time talking and playing with her so we know they will be a team as Ruby gets older. It's so much fun to watch them together.

.
Blessings,
Barbara

College

I'm going to start a college fund for Ruby. Lucy has one. When I make these decisions there is a still small voice that says" What are you doing? You know this might be wasted."
Then a bigger voice says" No ! I'm stepping out in faith and I'm putting it ALL out there." I want my daughter to look back and say" Thanks Mom for believing...and doing every single thing you could to show your faith in me and our big God, even when I was only 3 months old!"

A Call from a friend

Just on the days when I need it most God steps in. I wrote yesterday about Psalm 103 and God healing ALL our diseases. My friend Steph call me after not talking for months today. She was praying for my family and she said God gave her a scripture to share with me..guess what it was Psalm 103!
It's such a beautiful letter from God to me. It says" Go Kerri Go! You cheer on Ruby with Go Ruby Go ! I'll cheer on you!"
I love you Im with you. I'm for you! I'm doing this with you. Miracles sometimes happen instantly..healings sometimes happen gradually." I will not get down on the timing.God has my back. I pray for her today...her tongue. I want it to be perfectly sized and proportioned just like every single other body part. I will not stop praying and commanding every cell and organ in her body to come into alignment with God's perfect design.
Ruby Joy you are perfectly and wonderfully made!
Love
Mama

Wed

Ruby had physical therapy today. She rolled over again by herself and we worked together on some more muscle activities with her great therapist Mellissa. These can be wonderful but hard for me. I wish she didn't need physical therapy at all. I wish I felt that she was totally totally 100% healed already and didn't look any different than the other babies. I constantly have to stop myself from measuring her success of failures . It's not going to serve me well raising her later or my 3 yr. old. Lucy wanted to cuddle with Ruby today so I let her. It's still about Ruby "surviving her sister" on a daily basis. Lucy can be um...."spirited."
I cried out to God today after her session..tears....."God I'm praying. I'm reading. I'm standing in faith. I'm doing everything. I m trying to rest ....then I see something I don't like and I just think there's more I should do. Is it my faith that will determine when her healing manifests? If so...how can I be more faithful? And yet God you tell me it's done. You tell me not to worry that I won't be put to shame. That anyone who puts their faith in you will NOT be put to shame Psalm 25! I'm doing it God! I'm putting it out there. I need you to step in ! Please help me today.
I prayed over Ruby God healed you from all diseases! All Ruby! Today she rolled over again. She is strong!

Shopping

Last night I made a decision. It's been almost 12 months and I haven't bought any new clothes. I know I was prego and then "getting over being prego!"
But now I hate to admit despite my best efforts my old clothes don't quite fit...YET!
But I'm ok. I have decided to get some "transitional" clothes ie: Fat Clothes to tide me over . Yes I'm doing bootcamp and yes I'm working on it. But it's a slow process. Oh Ruby! I will thank you for this body years from now.
This afternoon I got invited to a prayer meeting and they said they'd love to pray for Ruby's healing. I thought I should cancel my shopping plans with my friend Dana to drive to Orange County just to get Ruby prayer. Now we were at a prayer meeting last night for Ruby and come to think of it about a million other prayer meetings. The kid had Heidi Baker herself pray for her healing and she had her own personal prayer session at PIHOP. Pasadena House of Prayer.
But I struggled with what to do. I think I was getting legalistic convincing myself I was a bad mom if I didn't get Ruby in the car to yet ANOTHER prayer meeting. This daughter and I have been all over the state of CA to prayer meetings and she's been amazingly happy at every one.I've taken her to conferences and the words spoken over her have been awesome. Perfect strangers come up to me saying the same things" I see her on a stage singing for the Lord. "
So I decided to have a night for mommy! I went to TJMaxx with Dana after I cooked dinner for everyone. I came home and I feel good. I feel like I deserve a night to treat myself. I did give birth afterall! That's gotta be worth some sparkly clothes!

Oxygen FREE ! She's not needing it!

Today I took Ruby's oxygen tube and unplugged it. Lucy was cleaning her play room and I wanted to bring Ruby in there too. I had left Ruby lying on the futon bed and I came back in and she was all alone smiling. She's always so content and happy. The only time she cries is if she's in pain like last night when daddy was trimming her nails and he accidentally got her skin. Sometimes she cries when she has a wet diaper but otherwise the kid is amazing.
I just layed my body over hers and looked her right in the eyes and started cheering with her. "Go Ruby Go!
You are healed. !"
Then I sang" My name is Ruby and I am strong. My name is Ruby and I like this song. My name is Ruby and I am healed. I am healed. I am strong. " I always make up my own songs . The cutest thing happened. She started smiling and cooing and singing with me. I called Ron and Lucy in to see her. We had a great family time singing to her and with her. She's going to get off oxygen tomorrow completely and we just rejoice that today she is healed. She is happy. She is singing and laughing with us. "My name is Ruby! I am a miracle." I keep repeating it over and over so she can hear me and so can the devil. I made up a song . I sing with her almost everyday and so does Lucy. It's called the" I am Healed song. We've been singing it for weeks.
I AM HEALED I AM HEALED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS
I AM A CHILD OF THE LORD
AM HEALED I AM HEALED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS
I AM FULLY RESTORED
I AM FULLY RESTORED

It's so simple but so true. So what are waiting for? Make up a song! Sing mine. I'll share. Sing it to the mountain tops loud enough for satan to know you're serious and you're not afraid to claim your full restoration.
Do it! Go...now...no time to waste!

A Step in Faith...Call me Crazy I Don't Care

FEb 6th
I had this" care package" sent to my house from the LA Down Syndrome Association. I had originally contacted them asking for help with navigating the CA social service system etc. They asked for my address and asked if they could share our names with other DS families. I declined. I just don't think I'm ready to be talking to other families that may be taking a different approach to the diagnosis in their children. We're on a very different and some would call radical road than most.So they gave me these phamplets and books with pictures of adorable lovely children all with the same diagnosis. I looked through everything and then decided to put the bag in the back of my closet. I thought" If I ever need it I can refer to it." It basically was telling me about support groups and information like that. Ruby has amazing Dr's that keep us very up to date on how to treat each of her particular symptoms such as her pulminologist Dr. Ishander and her cariologist at UCLA . Her pediatrician has refferred us to every kind of specialist we need.
So today I was cleaning out my closet and I was going to move the bag of information to somewhere else in my house. I made a decision. I grabbed the whole bag books and all and took it out to the trash and I said" Screw you devil! She doesn't have this syndrome and I make no agreements with it. I don't want any part of it in my house. So there!"
That was just my way of getting the thought of even agreeing for a second she'll be growing up with this syndrome out of my house and my mind. I am set on the fact that in Jesus name She is healed!

And So It Begins

Do you Believe in Miracles? The Healing of my Daughter Ruby Joy McGehee
Feb 6th 2011
People ask me if I'm going to record this journey . After all,I do make my living as a writer among other things. Funny enough I haven't put pen to paper about my little Ruby girl outside of emails begging and pleading people to pray, then celebrating with wonderful answers.
Today I am going to make this real. I'm going to record every step I can of this healing miracle journey and one day it will be a story for the record books. God loves a happy spectacular ending but many people will ask me about the beginning and the middle. Those times are of course the hardest, especially the middle. It's the middle when you're waiting for your miracle that I believe is the make or break time.It where you show your true colors. How strong are you?
You have a question to answer...are you going to stand in expectation, unwavering in your faith and your belief in your promise from God? Or are you going to roll over and let satan completely steal your joy and hope. I really hate to admit this but I think most well meaning Christians choose the latter option. I don't blame them. I've done it myself. Miracles aren't exactly easy to come by. If there was a step by step plan I think we'd all be receiving them on a daily basis and we'd have no need most of the Dr's therapists, homeopathic cures, infomercial's and many other things we put our faith in before God.
The bottom line is I had to make a decision. I had to decide if I was going to take God at his word? Would he heal my daughter? Would he heal her from a so called earthly incurable disease. There is no pill , no supplement, or any known treatment for Downs Syndrome. If you google "healed from down syndrome" there are a few examples of people being healed but it's all been because of one thing..one simple thing....FAITH. God gets ALL the Glory in this one and we can prove it on paper.There are other families out there that had children born and diagnosed with the same syndrome that Ruby was and they went straight to the word of God and see what God had to say about it.
In the Bible that I read it says" God heals all diseases as long as they are not genetic because medical science hasn't gotten up to speed on that yet and neither has God!"
I know what you're thinking...."What Version is that?"That's not my version. I'm kidding. My God says" Put your trust in me and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge me in all your ways and I will make your path straight!" My God says " I am the same God yesterday today and tomorrow. I will heal your diseases."
So who am I to doubt Him? I just had no idea a mere 14 weeks ago I'd be putting this to the test in a very huge way. I didn't sign up for this club"the mother of a special needs baby who spent 6 weeks in the nicu". No way! I had a perfect pregnancy and on Oct 28th when my water broke, I had absolutely no idea what lay right around the corner. Little did I know in a few short hours our whole world would be forever changed and we would be completely different people because of a little girl named Ruby Joy.
I've decided to record this journey to her full manifestation of healing because well, God told me to. I know in my heart when I take the stage all over the world with my completely functional healed little girl Ruby Joy. Others are going to ask me "How did this happen? How did you pray her well? What did you do? " Right now I'm seeking that very answer from anyone that I think will be helping in seeking Ruby's total deliverance from every lying symptom in her body. I want to be a forerunner for other families out there that have had children diagnosed with earthly diseases that want to see a miracle.

The question I have to ask myself is" Do I believe in miracles? Really believe with my whole heart that my father God loves to show up and show off? Do you? If you're interested in reading and praying along with our family I invite you join us. No we don't know what is around the next corner. We literally take one day at a time. But I try to think of it more as an exciting adventure than anything scary. I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power a sound mind. I am powerful. I will fight for my daughter. I will lean on God's promises.She will manifest her healing on earth. Watch and see.
